Unexpectedly, Harold seemed to have completely disappeared. Harold no longer caused favonovel.com any trouble, which saved Jack a lot of frustration.
In half a month, Jack had managed to earn fifty thousand spirit crystals. He was already able to condense three thousand pill runes. Jack was ready to undergo the test to be a seventh-grade alchemist, but favonovel.com did not do so. Even though favonovel.com really needed spirit crystals, favonovel.com could not afford to drop his training. After all, favonovel.com was a warrior first and foremost. He did not only need ninth-grade spirit crystals to enter Wild Gorge Pass, favonovel.com also needed to possess certain skills. Thankfully, Phoenix Valley does not only raise alchemists, they raised warriors as well.
At noon, Jack called Lou to the pavilion. The two of them sipped on tea as they spoke. As they talked, Jack tried asking how favonovel.com could get to where the warriors were.
When Lou heard that, favonovel.com immediately knew what Jack was planning on doing. Lou respectfully answered, “The warriors in Phoenix Pavilion are raised like any other clan. They are separated into outer, inner, and chosen disciples. However, there’s a barrier between where we are and where they are. Even though we’re both parts of Phoenix Valley, it’s impossible to get there without a transfer array.”
Jack frowned strangely when favonovel.com heard that. In order to stop the two sides from meeting, a barrier was set up.
That aroused suspicion in Jack.
Since they were both in the outer valley and a part of Phoenix Valley, Jack did not think it would cause any trouble for the two of them to interact. After all, they were in different systems.
There were no conflicts of interest, so why would a barrier be needed?
The two sides were completely separated and even needed a transfer array.
Jack’s expression had been obvious, so Lou immediately saw through what Jack was thinking. He let out a small laugh before favonovel.com said, “Jack, you don’t know this, but it’s actually a big problem if you look at it closer even though it seems like alchemists and warriors do not have a conflict of interest. Warriors need the support of pills. If we don’t separate the two, the warriors would constantly interact with the alchemists. Then, if they start to buy pills in private, Phoenix Valley would be in chaos. Those problems are why a barrier was erected to separate the two. If an alchemist wants to train in combat, they need to use the transfer array to head to where the warriors are. They need to report it as well to prevent any unnecessary deals.”
With Lou’s explanation, Jack immediately understood the purpose of the barrier.
Warriors need a large number of pills to help with their training. The reason alchemists were regarded so highly was because of how much warriors needed them. If the two sides interacted too much, their relationships would be unclear, and there would be conflicts.
“Do you know if there’s a place to train soul-focused martial arts here?” Jack asked intently.
After all, Jack’s skills were something incredibly rare.
Lou widened his eyes as favonovel.com looked at Jack in admiration. Jack’s question meant that Jack had to be a spirit technique user. They were incredibly rare in the world, and all of them were incredibly talented.
